' METALLIC `WINDOW.

` Application filed September 17, 1921, Serial No. 501,396. Renewed Septembeil 26, 1925.

My invention relatesto windows, and is more especially concerned with sliding metallic windows such as are Widely usedV in modern fire-proof buildings. Though my invention is otherwise applicable to some ex-V tent, various objects and advantages of the invention are generally much promotedand enhanced by sheet-metal construction.

More specifically, I aim to make the win- -dow proof against entrance of flames, aswell as against ignition, tight against weather and drafts, and of neat and pleasin appearance, without unsightly exposure o sash y l moderate cost of manufacture.

How these and still other advantages can pear from my description hereinafter of the best forms of construction embodyingthe invention known to me.

. he window shown inv Figs. I-VI has a fra-me consisting of lintel or head 1, op-

.posedl jambs 2, 2, and sill` 3, all of hollow sheet metal construction. The upper and lower vertically sliding, sashes 4, 5y are `n'iounted and guided on or in the windowframe by means included or enclosed in the exposed metal jamb facings 6, prefer- `ably as-hereinafter described.

`As shown, the lintel l and the sill 3 eX- tend a-crosstheends of the jambs 2, 2, and p have on their respective'upperand lower surfacesuoutstanding embossments 7 thatlit into andfengage the corresponding ends vof l the jambs 2, 2 and thus serve to align land hold the parts in definite proper relative assembled. The partsmay be securely fassill and lintel surfaces practically all the Wayfaround. The .window frame. may be set andbuilt into masonry Vor concrete in lits flanks 9, '9, and the other,- 10, forming The edge portions i its outersideK or. back. of the back piece 10 are bentfoutward` and thenretroverted .to form grooved anges 1l that fitover the vflanks 9,f9andmayl befspct y v wWeldedffon them, or thev like; and. these Fig. VII `is a fragmentaryview illustrat-4 iilentges 11 are engaged with the' Concrete er 4positions from themoment when they are .tened together Vby welding lthe edges of the jamb ends to thev abutting upper' and lower mortar between and outside of themuso as to anchor the window frame against displacement inward or outward. The sill. 3 may be open for most of its width at its lower side, so that during installation can be filled with concrete, as shown, to make it especially firm, strong, and solid.

In the window-frame, between the ainbs 2, 2, are the upper and lower vertically sliding sashes 4, 5, shown as of closelysimilar sheet metal construction. Each rail of these sashes el, 5 is composed of overlapping` lfront and rear (outdoor and indoor) strips 12, 13,-the rear one 13, flat, and the front one 12, joggled outward at 1st to separate the strips and afford a groove or recess between them in which the edge of a glass pane can be set in suitable plastic material or cement 16. As here shown, the front strips 12 constitute the principal structural elements of the sash, and may be appropriately mitered and welded together at the corners to rform a strong, rigid frame, whilethe rear ones serve as removable glazing strips, and are detachably secured to the front strips by means of' male and female glazing screws 17. i A

The arrangement and mounting of the two sashes l and 5 on the window trame is substantially the same, so that it will suffice to describe fully that of the upper sash l and to mark the corresponding` parts of the lower sash `5 with the sameV reference characters.

Referring, then, especially to Figs. II, III, IV and V, it will be seen that the upper sash t has space for considerable edge.- wise' play outside of its side rails 20, 20, between the jambs 2, L.V The front strips 12 which form the side rails 2O .of the sash l have lateral flanges 22 with inward-extending portions 23, formed, as shown,'by retro version of marginal portions of said side rails. Between the retrovertcd margins of the side rails 2O extend guides 25 that are in the present instance part of the exposed j amb facing G, and have the form of hollow sheet inetal beads. Their marginal portions 2G engage the side rail flanges 22 at their inner sides or bights (i. el, away-from the j amb backs 10) and thus serve to control the edgewise position of the sashl l and limit or prevent edgewise play. The guide portions 26 are bent or turned out-ward "(in the direction of the jamb blocks 10) to extend into the retroverted side rail flange portions orjretroversion-grooves 22, 23,;where they have just aboutV enough clearanceto insure' amply against bi.nding,-and, .on occasion, serve to control the lateral positionl'pfthe sash l by engagement with the groove sides and limit or prevent lateral play. "As shown, the bends orbightsforming'the bottoms Vof the retrover's'ion-grooves of the side rails 2O are beaded'r ro'iuided, so that besides'pieventing or limiting edgewise play of the sash 4t, the engagement of the guide portions 2G with the groove bottoms of itself ordinarily suliices to prevent or limit lateral ofthe sash 4 enough to obviate Contact `the guide portions 2G with the bights or.

bends of the side rail flanges 22,A as shown, rather than on engagement of said guide portions 26 with the inner edges of the retreverted portions 23 of said flanges 22, for reasons that will hereinafter become apparent. p

The guide beads 25 here shown consist of metal strips bent to a channel or L-form corresponding to the visibly exposed portions of the rectangular beads or stops often employed in wooden windows, and they are mounted against the jamb bellies 8 so as to present the saine appearance as such wooden stops. As shown, the eiigaging portions 26 of the guides 25 are not absolutely fixed with reference to the jambs 2, 2, but are adjustable transversely of the window to control and vary the position of the sash 4 edgewise, to take up undesirable looseness or play, and to regulate the pressure on the lateral side rail flanges 22 so as to insure proper tightness under any or all conditions and minimize friction. These guide portions 25 are also adjustable in and out of' the window (so to speak) to control and varythc position of the side rails 20 laterally, etc. In the present instance, provision is made for effecting these adjustments concurrently, by

'mounting each guide 25 with a fixed fulcrum 27 for its deep front flange 28 (corresponding to the bottom stroke of the L) on the jamb 2, at the bottom of a V-shaped longitudinal groove in the belly 8 whose front `wall is practically or nearly flat against the flange28 under ordinary conditions of adjustment. The engagement of the guidev portions'26v with the groove bottom 22 being substantially offset, transversely of the window, inside of the fulcrum 27, rocking of the guide'25` into the window on ysaid fulcrum will press on the side vrail 20`in the direction ofthe amb 2 and into the windowu Screws 30 extending through the guide 25 and taking into threaded holes-in stout translferse metal strips 31 inside the rjamb belly Sserve as'` a convenient means of rocking the` guide 25 in this manner, while U- sliaped'leaf Vsprings 32 interposed and in compression between jamb 2 and guide 25 urge said guide the other way when the ffl() Screws 30 are backed out, and prevent rattling. As shown in Figs. III, IV and VI, the screws 30 extend through holes in both legs of the compression springs y32, which are mounted in the hollow guide beads with their bends forward toward the flanges 28, and they are attached to tbe beads by rivets 33, so as to be removable with said beads. .i

By adjustment ot each screw to take upon the guides 25 against the resistance o" the `springs 32 to the proper degree, or vice-versa, the guides 25 can be rocked and adjustedwith the utmost accuracy from end to end,so as to allow the sash 4 to slide up and down smoothly and (easily the fulll height of the window, without more friction at any one point than at any other. Owing to the spring and resilience ofthe guide strips 25,1noreo-ver, sufficient elastic flezkure anditension can be created in them by taking up on the adjusting screws ..30 to assure bearing contactof their portions 26 with the side-rail flanges 22 at all times without excessive friction at any time,-notwith vstanding variations in width of the sash 4 over the range of temperatures from zero weather to conditions of fire exposure, even.

In order to. prevent excessive accumulation of dust and dirt in the hollow guide- .beads 25,25, it is ususallydesirable to have a parting member 35 between `the sashes 4, f-preferably of bead form. Where this is done, a, better appearance, is obtained by making Vthe inner Vsurface of the` parting 35 flushwith the inner surfaces of the two guides 25, 25,-since it likewise isa com.

ponent of the exposed jamb facing `6. As shown in Fig. III, the parting-member 35 is in the form of a separate metal strip bent to channel shape, and it is seated over a corresponding'low .parting`bead36 formed by einbossment of the jamb belly 8 itself, lwhile it ssecured to the latter by screws 37 eX- tending through said parting strip and taking intoV the strips 31. However, the partingmember 35 may just as well consist of a bead like embossment of the jamb belly 8, similar to the bead 36, but of lcorrespondingly greater height (as hereinafter described in connection with Fig. XI). On the front.

surface of the parting bead 35, `at the point where the ends ofthe meeting rails of thetwo sashes 4,5 stand when both sashes are closed, `may be mounted a plate 38 with upper and lower edges bevelled, as av means of' assuring tightness of, the window at this point when closed without `making the mee-ting rails of sufllcient length to be in danger ofl rubbing against theparting bead 35 when the sashes Vare beingraised or lowered.

From Figs. II vand III, especially, it will be observed that the side rail 20 of' the sash 4 (and the like applies to the sash 5) is in` eluded in a very narrow and inconspicuous slot in the facing 6, between the facing pieces 25 and partin bead 35, and that-as shown--this slot iso approximately uniform i width andl of considerable depth, so that' access, of dustand air around the sidev rail edge is minimized. It will also be seen that the'lateralfadjustability of the guide portion 26 (which forms one wall of the slot just mentioned) enablesthe side rail 2 0 to be pressed toward .the parting bead 35 and its side 39 (which forms the other wall of the slot) with great delicacy, so as to reduce the clearance and air passage between the parts 26 and 39 to the very minimum consistent with avoidance of frietion,-vor even to abolj ish such clearance without producing subi stantial pressure. The dimensions of the parts andthe resilience of the guide strip 25 may be so proportioned (as shown) that the degree of tightness at this point can readily bevadjusted in proper correlation with the bearing pressure on the lateral side rail ange 22. i Y

\ When the upper sash 4 is closed, the upstanding front strip 12 forming the top rail 40 of the upper sash enters a groove 41 rin the lintel `1 formed by upward 'bending of the metal of its lower wall or belly, andv .engages in this grooveso as to make a tight joint, as shown in U. S. Letters .Patent No.

709,237, toll?. R. Mudd, issued September 16, 1902. Preferably, the front (outside) portion of the belly and the adjacent front vflank ofthe lintel 1 are formeel bya piece 42 of anti-corrosive metal (e. g., copper, l

bronze, or keystone metal), nand the yrear (inside) ybelly portion and flank are formed by a piece 43 of steel. The upward bent flanges of the parts 42 and 43 that form the groove sides may be brought into facial contact above the groove 41 byjoggling them toward one another as shown in Fig. II.

Preferably, the abuttingV flanges are riveted or welded securely together at 44 (or both) or they maybe united to the rear of the groove 41, by there overlapping `the pieces 42 and 43 as shown in Fig. VII and spotformed, of course, entirely in the piece 42.

As shown, the bottom of the lintel 1 (comwelding them securely,-the groove 41 being j desired, itmay be additionally or more se- Y ourely attached by welding. j

At the meetingrails 50, 51 qf the sashes 4 and 5, both strips 12 and 13y of each sash are bent orflanged over horizontal toward the other sash, to afford ample strength and lateral stiffness, and one (the rear) strip of each sashis bent up or down (asthe oase may be) to form a' somewhatsprmgy, resilient [inclined flange 52 adaptedto hook .in-

1 side 0f-.and press firmlyf-,against the sim- .iler flange '53 on the other sash and form a lll? lil)

tight joint when both sashes are closed, as shown. The multi-ply meeting rails and 51 are thus virtually troughs, with interhooking single-ply, resilient, inclined adjacent sides and pane-recesses formed by separation of the plies of their remote sides.

At the bottom rail 5l of the lower sash 5, the sill 8 is of multi-stepped conformation, with the stops ascending inward. The lower portions of the strips or plies l2, 18 forming the bottom rail 5l are separated a distance about equal to the tread of the intermediate step by joggling of the front strip at 55, somewhat above the lower edge of the rear strip, and the front strip extends down below the rear one a distance about equal to the rise of the intermediate step. As the lower sash 5 is lowered. therefore, the relatively independent front and rear bottom rail flanges 56 and 57 formed as just described descend past the corners58 and 59 of adjacent steps, and may even press or wipe against them and be resilientl-y deflected somewhat, the lower edges of these flanges being bent and inclined laterally outward, as shown, to assist in this action. To assure still greater tightness at the sill, a yielding or resilient packing 60 (c. g., a strip of felt or of rubber) may be arranged 'i between the flanges 56, 57 for engaging the tread of the intermediate step, and ymay be retained and held in place by the laterally bent edge of the rear flange 57.

For counterbalancing the sashes 4, 5, sash weights 6l, 6l may be arranged in each jamb 2 preferably separated by an intervening partition 62 attached to the ljamb back l0 (Fig. III). 'Ihese weights 6,1, 6l may be connected with the side rails 2O of the sashes ll, 5, by cords or chains 63, 68 passing over sheaves 65, 65 in casings 66, 66 attached to the jamb-box bellies 8 (Fig. IV) a little below the lintel l and extending out through openings 67, 67 in the bellies 8. The downward extending portions of these flexible sash cables 68, 63 may be concealed behind the jamb facing 6, so as to keep them out'of sight and protect them from dust and dirt. As shown, the sash cables 63 are enclosed and concealed in the hollow guide beads 25, and are attached to the retroverted portions 23 of' theside rails 2O by means of hooks 68 formed of suitably notched portions of the margins which extend at right angles to the rest of said portions 28 (Figs. IV and V). There is, of course, ample space for the sash cables 63 between the legs of the springs 32. y I will now describe briefly certain useful modifications of the structure shown in Figs. I to V, marking similar parts with the reference charactersemployed in Figs. I to V as a means of dispensing with merely repetitive description.

In the modified construction illustrated in Figs. VIII, IX, and X, the jamb belly 8 is not integral with the flanks 9, 9,`but is a separate piece with edges inturned to form flanges 7l that fit in grooves formed by retroversion of the inner edges ot' the flanks 9, 9 at 7.2,-the flanks 9, 9 being, as here shown, integral with the jamb-back l0. The fixed fulcra for the guides 25, 25 are formed by re-retroversion of' the flank edves at 7 3, 73. The compression springs 75 or the guides 25 are leaf springs of conventional bow form, and bear against similar shaped rigid brackets 76 whose ends are riveted to the jamb bellies 8 at 77. The adjusting screws 78 are flat-headed instead of round-headed like the screws 30 in Figs. to VI, and have Acountersunk seats in the thickness-of the guides 25 and of' the springs 75, through which they extend; and they screw intothreaded holes in the brackets 76.

Fig. IX shows how the springs7 5 may be compressed by the screws 78 in adjustment the guides 25.

In the modilication illustrated in Figs. XI and XII, the parting member or bead 8O is formed by embossment of the jambbelly 8, as mentioned above in connection with Fig. III. I-Iere springs are dispensed with in the mounting of the guide 25. The round-headed adjusting screws 8l take into nuts 82 welded to the jamb-belly 8 inside. The guide 25 is kept from rattling and the screws 8l are permanently secured to it so asto be removable with it) by external flanges or collars on said screws,-in the form Vo f washers 83 held close up against the guilde 25 by cotter pins 84 extending through the screw shanks. Since the guide b ead`25 need not here aord space for springs, etc., as in Figs. I and X, the jambbelly 8 is embossed to form a low bead 85 inside the bead 25, whose fulcrum is at the reentrant corner at the root of the bead 85. Space for edgewise play of the sash 4 between thejambs 2, 2 is afforded outside of the side rails 2O by a sort of channel 86 in the jamb belly 8, `between the parting bead 80 and the inner bead 85 above mentioned. Il' desired, springs 90 such as shown in Figs. VIII to X may be substituted for the washers and Cotter pins 83 and 84, as illustrated in Fig. XIII.

The material .which I ordinarily prefer yto employ for the sash strips is #16 gauge bronze or keystone metal, though cold-rolled steel of the same gauge may be used if .desired. For the guides 25 etc. forming the exposed facing of the jamb, I generally prefer the same materials of #l2 gauge. For the sill and thel front Aexposed port-ion of the bead, I prefer thesame materials in about #i12 or #la gauge.' V

Having thus" described my invention, I
